Chopped Chicken Salad Sandwich

This chopped salad is so delicious because everything is diced so small that you get a little bit of each flavor profile in every bite! (The key to a great chopped salad is making sure to chop all your pieces as small as possible.) This dish is amazing for meal prep, large parties or even to turn into sandwhiches😉
